Würzburg Residence
The Wurzburg Residenz is a palace in Wurzburg, Germany. It was designed by the leading Baroque architect Balthasar Neumann to a commission from Archbishop of Wurzburg Johann Philip von Schönborn and Philipp Franz von Schönborn (two prince bishops) in 1720 and was completed in 1744. The Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo painted frescos in the building. The most spectacular interiors include the grand staircase, the chapel and the grand salon.
The Residenz was heavily damaged in the Second World War, and restoration has been in progress since 1945.
